Obituary

Tracy Kurszewski, 47, of Elderon died unexpectedly in a single vehicle car accident near Eland on Friday, July 27, 2018.
She was born on January 27, 1971 in Stevens Point, the daughter of the late Francis and Patricia (Lamb) Warchala. Tracy grew up on a farm which instilled a hard work ethic in her from a very young age.
On May 8, 2000, Tracy was united in marriage to Richard ‘Big Daddy’ Kurszewski at Mission Lake, he survives.
Following Tracy’s graduation from Amherst high school, she began working at SNE, and after 14 years she decided to become a realtor. Tracy worked for Coldwell Banker and had a real passion for helping others. She also worked Friday nights as a bartender for many years at Mark’s Bar where she will be remembered for her ability to befriend anyone. She was a good listener and never judged others. Tracy was a humble person and a giving friend, always willing to give anyone the shirt off her back. One of Tracy’s greatest joys was camping with her “camping family,” especially at Lake DuBay. Her camper was her special getaway. She also had a great love for animals.
Tracy is survived by her husband, Richard of Elderon; three children, Cori (fiancé Dan Lepinski) of Junction City, Nikki (fiancé Aaron Peterson) of FL and Travis (Amanda) of Amherst; six grandchildren, Alex, Hayli, Lincoln, Caleb, Cole and Carson; four siblings, Tim (Marla) Warchala of Plover, Tammy Netzer of Mosinee, Wendy (Peter) Simons of Stevens Point and Sean (Stephanie) Jensen of Amherst; three sisters-in-law, Lisa McCune of Rosholt, Lynette (Scott) of Wittenberg and Linda of Rosholt; one brother-in-law, Randy (Tammy) of Merrill; two aunts, Zonia Warchala of Redding, CA and Judy (Joe) Lamb of Wausau; 12 nieces; 12 nephews and many other relatives and friends.
Tracy was preceded in death by her parents, one sister in infancy, Mary Warchala, mother and father-in-law, Alex and Judy Kurszewski and one brother-in-law Ron Kurszewski.
A visitation will be held from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 at Schmidt & Schulta Funeral Home, Wittenberg. A time to share memories will conclude the visitation on Wednesday.
